My sons Lacrosse team played against Hankerson's HS (St Thomas Aquinas) a couple of years ago. BY FAR, the nicest most accomodating opposing fans AND players ever. Totally a class operation ....and way talented team as well. Coming from that background, he must have recieved some great life training.

Actually Chris Carter was his high school coach

Sometimes high school coaches are able to get away with padding measureables, other times they're not. Not every potential recruit gets to go to Nike Camp where they at least have Combine like tools.

You'll also notice some guys may have had coaches that were a little slow and quick with stop watches on the 40 (slow at the start, quick at the end). Other times they'll innocently round up on measureables. Robinson for example is 5'9 5/8th, however his height is listed as 5'10. Bottom line theres so many of these kids across the country that standardized testing becomes difficult.

Ive always wondered about 40 times from HS too. I would think that a 18 year olds 40 be a lot slower then a 22 year olds at the combine or pro day, but sometimes there as good as or better. It has to be a coach with a quick thumb.

Speaking of Lacrosse, Royster was considered one of the best Lax players in the Country, and was considered way better at Lax than he was at Football, and thats really saying something there, with the fact that he was the VA Gatorade Football Player of the year. (I personally have met Evan on several occasions and have seen him play in High school a few times...this guy looked like Portis playing with High schoolers...glad we got him, he's a great kid that you don't have to worry about with whatever in night clubs, etc.)

First Shanahan compares him to Terrell Davis, now you unintentionally compare him to Jim Brown. It's official, Royster is destined for greatness.

It's the pain killers. My senses are heightened...or dulled. Man I don't really care, I'm just happy. I don't see why people say these drugs are so bad, the only side effect is happiness. By the way I'm having trouble making out these last two words add-ic-t-i-on and wit-h-draw-ls..hmmm....oh well I'll figure it out later

By the way is everyone seeing two 5x5 rows in the first post? I imagine that this thread isn't so pretty when viewed on Smart Phones but I'm curious as to how it shows up on screens larger and smaller then 15'.

What is that suppose to do? I'm seeing websites that say it amplifies the effects (which I don't want) and others suggesting it helps with withdrawls. Not that mine will be to bad as I won't be taking them for more then two weeks but still there is a come down period.

Also do you have one of these big touch screen desktop computers?
Because if I imagine that if you're seeing one row then you must have a wide screen. Personally I was going for a Mortal Kombat vibe.
